Living in Sin: I'm a Lesbian who fantasizes about Older Men

Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

Every week in Living in Sin, Jen Sincero provides advice to LA's sexually curious. You can see her column in print, too, in the LA Alternative Press. Ask Jen your questions: all are posted anonymously.

Dear Jen,

I am a lesbian in my mid-thirties. I came out really young and have
never been with a man, but for the past ten years or so I've been
having sexual fantasies about men in their sixties. I've never acted on these fantasies but still want to know - why is this happening?

- Who's Your Daddy?

Dear Daddy,

I used to have this great job working in the creative department of a
record company where my coworkers and I would help each other with our
respective projects. We'd gather in someone's office and brainstorm
for a while until we got bored and started making phoney phone calls or
drummed up a round of butt quarters. One day we decided to play
"what's your filthiest fantasy."

We each wrote one down on a small piece of paper, put it in a hat, and pulled them out one by one, trying
to guess whose was whose. I learned that my fellow workers dreamt of things like being suckled by huge-breasted women like an itty bitty baby, and getting eaten out under the conference room table during big
meetings. At the time it was a tad too much information, but it wasn't until they put a gym in the building, and I found myself discussing the new Michael Bolton ad campaign with my boss while she toweled off her crotch, that I quit.

I went on to meet a lesbian who only likes gay male porn, a gay boy who
longs to go down on a woman, and everybody knows some straight chick
who's gotten it on with her best friend. What is happening to you is
happening to the majority of the population, and all it means is that
you have a healthy libido, a liberated imagination, and a secret desire
to work in a pipe shop.

We're all under such pressure to follow the tired rules of straightness
or gayness or Christianness or whatever, but the world is far too juicy
a place to not participate in just because you don't want to get kicked
out of any clubs. So whether it's sitting on the couch watching
Columbo reruns with your hand down your pants, or begging your uncle
to take you fishing with his buddies, I sincerely hope you don't let
the L word get in your way.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
